THERESE ANN LADD,
Appellant
v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS,
Appellee
_________________________________
FROM THE 251ST DISTRICT COURT OF RANDALL COUNTY;
NO. 17294-C; HON. PATRICK A. PIRTLE, PRESIDING
_______________________________
Before QUINN, C.J., and CAMPBELL and HANCOCK, JJ.
Therese Ann Ladd appeals from a judgment revoking her probation and adjudicating
her guilty of aggravated sexual assault of a child and indecency with a child by contact.
We affirm.
The trial court initially deferred appellant’s adjudication of guilt and placed her on
community supervision. The State subsequently moved to adjudicate her guilty alleging
six violations of her probation. Appellant pled true to five of those alleged violations. The
court then granted the motion and adjudicated appellant guilty.
Appellant’s counsel has filed a motion to withdraw, after filing a brief pursuant to
Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), representing he
has searched the record and found no arguable grounds for reversal. The motion and brief
illustrate that counsel notified appellant of her right to file her own brief. So too did we
inform appellant that any pro se response or brief she cared to file had to be filed by
January 29, 2007. To date, no response or request for extension of time to file a response
has been received.
In compliance with the principles enunciated in Anders, appellate counsel discussed
two potential areas for appeal. They involve 1) error in revoking appellant’s probation, and
2) ineffective assistance of counsel. However, counsel has satisfactorily explained why
each argument lacks merit.
We have also conducted our own review of the record to assess the accuracy of
appellate counsel’s conclusions and to uncover any reversible error pursuant to Stafford
v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). Our own review has failed to reveal
such error.1
Accordingly, the motion to withdraw is granted, and the judgment is affirmed.
